100. Speaking of Time magazine: Every U.S. President since 1932 (except Gerald Ford) has been named Man of the Year at least once, but this was the only President to be named Man of the Year even before he was elected President.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

gives us Rich Eisen of the NFL Network. BUT, since the names are at the ends of the clues, I am not sure it works because the name of the game is MIDDLE Name Game
Good catch.
But Suzanne Pleshette got used for Anne Rice in a confirmed match. Is that a mistake, or is the "middle" part not necessary, or am I just confused.
Oops, good catch again! Suzanne Pleshette belongs to a totally different match. You'll find your Anne somewhere else. Sorry.

Updated consolidation with errors removed.

Identify the 100 people in the clues below. Match them into 52 pairs according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Then, match each pair with one of the Associated Words. Four of the names will be used twice, each in two different capacities.

I am thinking that, perhaps, we are looking for a Tom to go with 41. HARRY BRIDGES for Tom Ridge, former director of Homeland (Security)

45. Perhaps his most significant act as president of Mexico was the nationalization of the oil industry.

CARDENAS (a blatant look-up but I had a feeling that 87. was there for what I thought it was)

SAM SMITH?
I didn't think that Sam Smith is that young. Also, I was pretty sure that he's British.

The correct answer is TROYE SIVAN, which yields a first name of Roy.

12. This American psychologist pioneered the use of puzzle boxes to test the ability of animals to learn.

Skinner was a good guess, but Frank wants EDWARD THORNDIKE here. Skinner was his contemporary.

51. TROYE SIVAN + 12. EDWARD THORNDIKE = Roy Horn, as in "Siegfried & Roy" (Tiger)

46. In 2008, she became the first American woman to receive the rank of four-star general.

ANN DUNWOODY. A lot of famous people named Wood to choose from.
